Current Detroit Red Wing forward Patrick Kane won three Stanley Cups with the Chicago Blackhawks, and the city hasn't forgotten his efforts; they've repaid him in kind with a "Patrick Kane Day" on August 8th.
The City of Chicago has given Red Wings forward Patrick Kane a huge honor. It was announced this week that August 8th would be known as "Patrick Kane Day".
The day was named in honor of the former 1st-round pick in the 2007 NHL Draft, who was a part of the team's dynasty in the 2010s.
Kane's trophies and honors include a Conn Smythe, a Hart Trophy, and, of course, multiple Stanley Cups. Now, he'll receive a memorialization with a day with his name on it.
Kane's Committed to the Red Wings, but Chicago's Home
Kane wore a Blackhawks crest for the majority of his NHL career (16 years). For the forward, the City of Chicago will be a magical place for him, as it's a place close to his heart.
The fans are always jubilant when he shows up in Chicago, despite wearing a different jersey the last few times.
For they'll always have love for a player who delivered three Championships in the Windy City, putting him in the discussion of the greats like Michael Jordan.
The City Council would signify the day with a post on "X":
For fans, it seems like there was never a chance to get a proper goodbye to the forward after he was traded to New York in 2023.
The day holds a special connotation to his jersey number, as the day is August (8th month) and the 8th day.
Now, fans can celebrate Kane yearly.
